Teacher Appreciate Gifts

Last week was Teacher Appreciation week, I'm behind giving this to the teacher and posting this ... lol. I really think my life has to have ups and downs to be life .. hehe. I head to Pinterest to find my source of inspiration.

Even if it's not Teacher Appreciate week these would be a nice thank you gift to your child's teacher. SUPER easy to make!

First one I saw on Pinterest was for the Coffee Lover.

What you Need:

Gift Card for Starbucks (or who ever is your favorite)

EMPTY CLEAN Coffee Cup (ask them they will give it to you free)

Straw (Don't forget to grab one, I almost did)

Tissue Paper (Brown & off White)

Ribbon to tie your Gift Card on

Take the empty cup, crumple up the brown in the bottom of the cup (to look like Coffee) may take 2 sheets. Then crumple up the off white (for the cream). Make sure you do this around the straw and put the top on. I cut a whole in the giftcard holder and put the ribbon threw. Then tie a ribbon to the straw.

Then I saw this next one on Pinterest also and had to make it. Now the picture of Every Day Scrapbook was better, I have to work on this one but it gives you the idea.

What you need:

Hard cup with lid and the hard plastic straw

Pencils (the yellow #2 best, I bought some at dollar store & they were too LONG. I had to sharpen them and it just wasn't the same)

Card stock for the note or I found these cute little Apple cut outs the I wrote on a white sticker and put it on it.

Take your clean plastic cup fill up with pencils. I found the cheap ones at Dollar store didn't fit nice I ended up having to sharpen and then they weren't even and nice looking (PLUS if you don't have a electric sharpener and it was a pain in the butt). Either on a piece of thick card stock write a note saying "We're Filled to the Brim that ____'s in your ___ grade class. You can cut a little whole on top and bottom and slide down the straw (to look like a flag off the straw).

Hope you make one for that special teacher. Just remember they are locked in a room with 20+ kids for a full day! Yup I thought that would make you think ... lol.
